It's St Swithun's Day, have a poem where he's grumpy about the way he was buried, and was actually really happy when Winchester Cathedral started to sink because it was built without foundations.

We are delighted to announce that we're bringing Malcolm Guite's reimagining of the King Arthur story to the UK!

What if, and hear me out here, you saw your church building as a gift rather than a massive inconvenience? Here Padley explores how small, practical changes to our church buildings and grounds can unlock their potential as assets for mission. In stock now via bookshops or canterburypress.co.uk

2026! Robots! Flying cars! And another superb Canterbury Preacher's Companion.

This is happening this week in Iona #miriamssistersdeborahsdaughters @canterburypress.bsky.social

Delighted to see our pals at Church House Bookshop (not yet on Bluesky but we're working on it) are set up and once again open in Westminster after its move back round the corner! I spy an SCM Press book and some from @canterburypress.bsky.social...

Resources for the whole church this month with Canterbury Press 🙌 @canterburypress.bsky.social

All the essentials for 2026...

"Here is mission and outreach through music. Everybody is welcome, people of faith or not." Ronald Corp reviews the book of St Martin-in-the-Field's initiative

So touched by this review and not just because he describes my writing as genius 😊. He really gets what I was trying to do in writing the book, and that is incredibly gratifying. #cofe #narthex @canterburypress.bsky.social

Have been meaning to do '5 books that shaped me ' for ages, and having just finished Jessica Martin's astonishing _The Eucharist in Four Dimensions_ in floods of tears (read it! It is SO GOOD!) now feels like the time. Might not be 5. Will definitely not be the only possible answers. 🧵

Lyle Dennen reviews Perfectly Ordinary: In search of healthy church leadership by Marcus Throup, which "brings warmth, deep concern, insight, and vision to what the clergy ought to be like"

It's quite daunting that more people are reading the proofs of 'Waiting on the Lord' and this will be in print soon. I've had some extraordinarily kind feedback, from those who have discerned lay callings, and from those ordained decades ago. canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...

"What does it mean to hold God in your arms and know that you're dying?" A little poem for Candlemas.

Come and work with us! We have an Editorial Assistant vacancy to support the team producing SCM Press and @canterburypress.bsky.social books. Closing date 20th Feb #PublishingJobs jobs.churchtimes.co.uk/jobs/Editori...

I can't wait for you to see and use this one. Over 40 days, you'll learn to build a short period of silent prayerful listening into your day, in a really accessible, non-threatening and realistic way, a bit like a Couch to 5K but for silence. Coming August 2025 to @canterburypress.bsky.social

It’s #JaneAusten’s 250th of birth so what better year to use my book ‘A Truth Universally Acknowledged’ as your #Lent study guide? Indeed the Jane Austen Society review indicated it is worthy of attention at any time of year … buy it via the link: chbookshop.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...

If you enjoyed this talk, you can pick up a copy of Jennie's memoir of chronic illness and faith for just £3 in our winter sale.

This came before I started my current role, and I confess I didn't read it at the time, focused as I was on SCM-shaped things. So catching up with it now, and oh my word is it exquisite so far. Moving, beautiful, challenging, radiant. Hard to describe. Just read it. @canterburypress.bsky.social

Save up to 80% in our Winter Sale on books covering prayer, spirituality, history, liturgy, ministry, poetry, theology and more! Available online until 21st February: canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/features/win...

Of all preaching gigs, the All Age Talk is by far the most terrifying (I speak as one with very fresh memories). This, by Ally Barrett, offers a helpful and practical guide for the panicking preacher. Again, in the @canterburypress.bsky.social sale. canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...

"They say I died a virgin, but then they say every martyred woman was a virgin. I want" From 'The Vanishing Song'

Review of Vanishing Song, by @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social, pub. by @canterburypress.bsky.social. The message of these poems is not to be afraid of things we cannot control. It takes faith like the saints who embrace the wilderness. www.bobcornwall.com/2024/12/the-... #reviews #poetry #booksky

Very pleased to hear that Ronald Blythe's home, Bottengoms, has been given to Essex Wildlife Trust for nature conservation and the arts. I'm privileged to have had my work in the Church Times alongside RB for all those years. And I love the EWT. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

First copies of "A Prayer Book of Days", by bishop, author and icon writer Gregory Cameron have arrived in the office and they are sumptuous. @canterburypress.bsky.social

@revrachelmann.bsky.social 'Do not be afriad' is my choice of Advent book this year alongside Esther de Waal's 'Celtic Way of Prayer'.

That’s exciting. I’m book of the week on @canterburypress.bsky.social with a special reduced price.

In a first for me, I've now got A5 signed prints of one of my poems (of course it's 'Jesus at the Gay Bar') available to buy from my website in a pay-what-you-can kind of situation. Check it out here: jayhulme.com/shop/jesus-a...

Exciting to see Jayne Manfredi's 'Waking the Women: Faith, Menopause and the Meaning of Midlife' on the Church Mouse shortlist! We say... if your church has middle aged women in it, you should be reading it! canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...

Pretty cool venue for a #booklaunch #simplegenerousopen @canterburypress.bsky.social @coventrycathedral.bsky.social

I'm reading this book for work and learning so much about what resilience means. That it's learnt rather than innate. And that it's okay to go through rough patches, as long as we keep our eyes on God, and look to him for our identity and self-worth ❤️🙏🏻 🕯️

Timely, from @canterburypress.bsky.social . Deserves - actually *needs* - to be widely read.

Canterbury Press is now on Bluesky! @scmpress.bsky.social told us it's where all the cool theology people are going...
